MRI

The tumour before removal

The MRI shows a mass in the lateral calf, it appears rounded and is not infiltrating the surrounding tissues . A soft tissue tumour deep to the fascia warrants a MRI as it may be a malignant lesion. In the operative photo a cystic soft tissue mass is seen. The affected nerve can be seen above and below the cyst.
